The challenge is how to use the information that does exist effectively. The method we have used is closest to vote-counting. ...
However, instead of the repeated trials nature of vote-counting proving a problem (Hedges & Olkin 1980; Gurevitch & Hedges 1999), we have explicitly used it to inform us about the likelihood of species ...
Generic, scalable and decentralized fault detection for robot swarms
2017
PLoS ONE
In particular, we analyze our system's capacity to correctly detect robots with faults, false positive rates, performance in a foraging task in which each robot exhibits a composite behavior, and performance ...
In this paper, we present a generic fault-detection system for robot swarms. ...
The final feature vector for each observed robot is then updated by a simple majority vote on the most recently received feature-vector information in the past W l s, counting each voter only once. ...
